A major correction: The site where a strangely-shaped new tower project is going up, as seen in Thursday’s MISCmedia MAIL, is NOT the site of El Corazon/The Funhouse, but an adjacent lot. Our apologies to all.

The city and WSDOT apparently expected a calm, orderly shutdown to the Alaskan Way Viaduct at 10 p.m. Friday night.

What happened instead was a big, popular, slow-speed cruisin’ scene. Thousands came to pay their last respects to the doomed scenic waterfront roadway. There were cars, trucks, at least one semi, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.

It was after 10:25 when crews finally put up the barricades at the Viaduct’s northern on-ramps. The northbound cruise continued for more than another hour.

The official last civilian vehicle on the Viaduct was a stalled car, that had to be pushed by a cop car.
